She was baptized Feb. 12,
1950 at her parent’s home by Rev. G. C. Senff and confirmed June 6,
1965 in St. James Lutheran Church of New Wehdem by Rev. Willard
Rother. She was a 1968 graduate of Bellville High School. In 1972
Kathy received her BS in Nursing Degree from Texas Women’s
University.

On Jan. 29, 1972 she married
the love of her life, Curtis Buck in St. James Lutheran Church of
New Wehdem. The two of them were happily married for over 40 years.
Kathy truly enjoyed their time traveling together. They were blessed
with two wonderful children, Landon and Marissa. Years later she
celebrated the marriage of Marissa to Cliff Rudloff. She loved her
family dearly and devoted her life to being there for their every
need.

One of the greatest joys in
her life was the birth of her grandchildren, Dawson and Hailey. As
their “Momo,” she treasured the moments she spent with them reading
books and coloring. The children spent many hours snuggling with her
and even were blessed to have several family vacations creating many
memories.

Kathy was a member of First
United Methodist Church of Brenham. Her faith and church family were
a big part of her life as well. She took great pride in her
profession as a registered nurse and showed gentle compassion for
her patients. After her years as a nurse in the clinical setting,
she spent much of her time still caring for others through her
compassionate calls and inspirational spirit. No matter the
situation, those around her were always greeted with a beautiful
smile that could brighten any day.

Kathy spent her life giving
to others. Her kind and caring ways always put others first. She was
known for sending many cards and gifts to so many for special
occasions and sometimes “just because.” She enjoyed spending time
with her many friends. The times she spent playing cards and eating
out were always cherished.

She was preceded in death by
her father Waldo Goeke, mother-in-law Dora Buck Bresler and
step-father-in-law Louis Bresler.
